Jimmy is having Surgery

As you all know Jimmy loves to ride motorcycles, and I love it too. What I dont like its the injuries that come with it. Posted is the picture of Jimmy's full toe when it was attached by pins when he had an accident at an Idaho City Race. There was a guy going the wrong way and almost hit him head on but Jimmy was able to move and the only thing that he hit was his foot, he clipped his toe with the foot peg, therefore the injury. About a month ago Jimmy was out riding and he hurt his wrist. He's had wrist problems for about 3 years, but this time he felt he should get it checked. Good thing he did!. He had xrays done and we found out that he has a ligament tear between two little bones called the scaphoid and lunate. We went to a hand specialist in San Francisco and he scheduled a surgery for Dec 23,2009. Surgery is the only way to get it fixed. But thats not all, the total recovery time untill he can use it fully is 6 months!Please keep us in your prayers so all will go well.

JEANS

I've been looking for a pair of jeans for a while now and its been impossible for me to find some. I've tried on soo many different pairs and I still have not found the ones! If anyone has any suggestions please HELP!

Catching up!

A lot has happened since I blogged last. It seems like I dont have enough hours in the day to do everything I'd like to do. I've been very busy with work and trying to keep up with evertything else. We went to Chicago in august, my brother came home from his mission in Colorado. We were really glad to see him and spend some time there. We went to Nauvoo , we had such a good trip. Then came Jimmy's birthday in September. We went camping and had dinner at a nice restaurant. I made him a pie and got him a wheat eater for his birthday. I also made him a delicious cherry pie for his birthday, we also celebrated with Jimmy's family with a yummy dinner that his mom made and a homemade icecream cake to die for. In October we had our ONE year anniversary and we had a weekend of fun. The real day was on a saturday so on friday we went to a movie ,went bowling and went out to dinner. On Saturday we went go cart racing at this place in Sacramento and I tried my best and got 9th place out of 10 and Jimmy got first! Then we went to the church bookstore. We were looking for a pitcture to buy but they didnt have the one we wanted. At the end of the night we got to eat our wedding cake, which by the way was really good still. Its been crazy busy but still so fun. Thats what we've been up to for the last three months. Ill try to update more often :

The Wedding Cake

End of Summer

Its been so long since i've updated the blog but we have been super super busy. I 'm working and I'm trying to keep up with everything else and I am having fun doing it. I really am enjoying my job at the hospital and love to wear scrubs to work. I feel like I am in my PJ's. Sometimes it gets stressful while working in the ER and so many things go on but I try to keep it under control. We've done so man fun things this summer and I wanted to post some pictures of our adventures. One weekend we went to San Francisco and hung out at Pier 39. We had delicious clam chowder bowls and went to Ripley's Believe it or Not. It was fun to be a tourist. We also went camping one weekend and it was reallly fun. Jimmy is the best person to camp with, he takes care of finding a spot, getting everything set up and even scarring off the mountain lions. All I have to do is cook. We had a really good time. We went swimming and ate some delicious food. Although summer is pretty much all the way through its still pretty hot here so I'm exited to continue doing things outdoors.


 
 

My 24th Birthday!

Ok so I am sitting here the night of my 24 birhtday and I can truly say it was a wonderful day. As I think back on my life I've come to realize that yes we do become older but we become wiser and I think its a pretty good trade off. I loved spending my birthday with Jimmy, is my first birthday since we've been married and I really ejoyed it. Everyone made my day so sweet and nice. It truly was a special day. I loved my dad singing happy birthday on the phone to me and I loved talking to my mom about the day I was born.I definetly got the royal treatment from the Newsom's and got so many nice gifts. I want to say Thank you to EVERYONE that made my day special! I love you all.

Santa Cruz

Two weeks ago we went to Santa Cruz for the graduation of Jimmy's cousin Grace. We had a really good trip. We stayed with Jimmy's grandparents friends. They were the nicest people ever. They let us stay at their house and fed us the most delicious food. It was really nice to meet Jimmy's cousins and spend some time with them. We went to the Santa Cruz board walk and Jimmy and Jim played the "how fast can you throw" game.They had a machine that measured the speed, Jimmy's best was 63mph. It was fun watching. On Sunday we went to the graduation and had a nice lunch after. It was a very relaxing weekend.

My first blanket

I'm really exited because I finished my first sowing project. A baby blanket for Ashley's Braden. I had lots of fun making it. Thank you Lorena for all your help and patience with teaching me. I am ready to make more!

New Job

So thankfully after looking for a job I found one! Jimmy's friend's Dave's girlfriend Carly works at the local hospital and she told me to apply. So I did and they called me. I had an interview that went good, had to take a test with a math portion, not so good. But in the end they picked me! Im exited. I will be admiting people into the hospital. Its a per hour job. So most likely ill come in when they need help. Im really exited.

May

So I haven't been bloggin in a while. We are always keeping busy and have done quite a bit since my last post. The whole month of May totally flew by and its June! Which is birthday month for me and I like birthdays but i specially enjoy mine the best. In the month of May we went to my cousin's graduation from Stanford Law School. We went down to Palo Alto and it was really fun to see some of my family. We also went to the county fair we walked around through the rides played some carnaval games , ate some delicous kettle corn; garlic fries and saw a rodeo. Jimmy ate the garlic fries and let me tell you the garlic was strong.. really strong it lasted for 2 days. Also on May 14 Jimmy's grandpa Ken passed away (Jimmy's mom's dad). I had the chance to spend some time with him and I am glad that I had the chance to meet him. He was always so funny and had great stories.He had been sick for a while so we are glad that he is resting now from all his pains. He will be missed. At the end of the month we went to Hangtown'09. Its like a big motocross race where all the pro's race. It was an all day thing. It was hot, with tons of people and very long but fun. In 1969 Jimmy's grandpa (his dads dad) raced and won! I thought that was pretty cool. So it was nice to watch. May kept us busy.

I love picnics

Getting ready to go

So I really really really like going on picnics. Its so fun. I think its one of my favorite things to do. There is something about changing the scenery from where we always eat that I love. I love the sun, and the trees and the blue sky. I really feel like it makes food taste better. Jimmy is really good at finding good spots, this one we had to hike to but it was worth it.

The Return of The Savior

Lately I've been thinking about the Last Days. I've always known that we lived in the last days but recently I've been pondering more and more about it. Prophecies of Old are being fulfilled and that means that each day we grow closer to the return of the Savior to the Earth. I am so thankful for the knowledge of the gospel in my life. It is the greatest blessing. As the scriptures say "If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear".

Thankful for Riding Gear

Yesterday we went riding and when I mean riding I dont mean on a track. When we go riding is trail riding. You know in the mountains on a single trail with trees, roots and well obsticles on the way. Also with very steep parts going up and coming down. The going up part is not so bad you just hit the gas and cruise on up. Going down is the hard part. I think of myself as not very coordinated by nature, I feel like I need to do things over and over again in order to get it. Its really hard for me to break with my hand and with my foot at the same time while steering and holding on to the clutch. So we are riding along and go up this hill and come up to this tree just blocking my way so i stop and I go around it but I guess I went a little fast and then kind of was heading the wrong direction, not on the trail but down the hill to the side. At this time is when good coordination would have come in handy but it didnt. I really dont know what I did it was all too fast and the next thing I know Im face planting head on to the ground. Jimmy was just ahead a bit and he saw the whole thing. He came right up. My initial reaction was to be so angry that I crashed and then I was upset I started crying. I know funny.Nothing really happend but a big headache and my heel kind of bruised a little. At this point I was so thankful for riding gear so thankful for the people that invented it. They really saved me from taking a big hit.

Weekend Trip to LA/San Diego

So last weekend we took a trip to Southern California. We really didnt plan it at all, it was all really spontaneous. We found a really good deal flying to Long Beach from San Francisco for $14 each way! We couldnt believe it or pass it up so we bought them on thurdsay and where on a plane at 7:00 am on friday. We arrived at Long Beach airport and we rented a car. When we got there they showed us what we were driving. This small little blue hyundai. Jimmy said that if someone were to ask him to describe the worst car in the world he would describe that one. haha. We got in it and we started driving towards Hollywood. We wanted to get close to the Hollywood sign and so we started driving around until we found this park. Then we started hiking around and we found the best view of it. It was so fun. Then we went to Universal Studios and went on all the rides. My favorite is Jurassic Park. We got wet but it was worth it. We then went downtown LA and to Beverly Hills. By this time we were exhausted so we decided to head to Jimmy's grandma's RV where we were staying. Luckily his grandma let us stay in this RV that her and her husband have at this RV Resort. Which was packed with pools, hot tubs and a golf course. We spend saturday and sunday at the resort. We enjoyed watching coference and fitting in a few games of golf and tennis in between. Which I might add that I am getting pretty good at tennis since I last decided to start playing. I was schooling Jimmy! well sort of.. On monday we went down to San Diego, for my birthday in June I wanted to go to the Body World Exhibit, they show real human bodies and all the anatomy and procesess. And Jimmy was so sweet to take me early. I loved it! It was so fascinating and exiting.I was glad that Jimmy liked it too. After we had a yummy lunch and headed to the beach. It was such a beautiful day. The water was a pretty good temperature.. colder than I like it,but Jimmy jumped right in and body surfed and had fun in the waves. I like to watch from afar. I was scared of those waves. They were HUGE! That is the short version of our small vacation. At the end of each day we were beat. So tired of having fun all day long. Its always nice to get away and specially for cheap!
